    As much as we were the beneficaries of Griffin's decision to leave, and I always be thankful for that, it is sad to see what has become of him personally but, when I think of how badly it has worked out for GWS, I feel this pleasant, warm glow throughout.
    Griffin has become discardable it seems. Went from the top of the hill to the scrap heap in 3 years. GWS got zero out of him. We got a Premiership with Tom Boyd playing a leading role in the greatest finals campaign ever. Thank you Ryan, thank you GWS.

        Vale many great Ekers. So sad to lose so many, after so long.

            Nah, he's just a one club player at this point. Maybe into his third club he can finally start to achieve the low bar over a longer time we all know he's capable of.

                  What about Gary Ablett Jnr .. Must be rare to start at a club, leave to another then finish your career at your original club.
                  A great footballer but we must recognise this effort, would there be many to do that ?

                      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                              Will Josh Cowan manage to eke out another year somewhere else?

                              GEELONG small forward Josh Cowan will leave the club, after failing to secure a new contract for 2018.

                              The oft-injured Cat played just 16 games in eight seasons, and after another year crueled by injury, Cowan has been told he can explore free agency with another club.

                                If Josh Cowan gets another year, he will go up massively in Eker status.
